Bagoong Rice

 

The best excuse to cook rice more than what we can consume during dinner is when I’m going to serve it as breakfast the following day. I usually mix in whatever is available in my pantry. Such an easy rice bowl to make.

Ingredients:
4 cups rice
1 tablespoon bagoong
1 onion, sliced
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil

serve with:
egg strips
sliced green mango

Instructions:
Make the egg strips:
Heat a nonstick pan and brush with a little oil. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan and leave to cook like a pancake. Transfer the cooked egg to a plate. Roll like a cigar and slice thinly.

Cook the bagoong fried rice:
in a wok, heat oil and sauté onion just until done. in the same pan, add rice and bagoong and toss until warmed through. Season to taste.

To serve, place a bowl of rice on a plate. Arrange egg strips and green mango strips around the rice. Serve hot.
